I am an employee of Gupta (I am biased) but I have observed it working 
many times.  So have other customers who bought the product.

It comes with version 6 of the OS/2 Oracle server.  Possibly, it may be 
packaged with other future Oracle products.  In your message, you say 
that "I was told 5.1c is the latest release of Oracle for OS/2".  
Version 6 is the latest release for OS/2.

Stacia Sambar in Tech Support did tell you what you need, but she did 
not know what Oracle product it came with.  That is why we have more 
than one way of communicating with our customers (such as the Gupta BBS 
or Usenet).  We are talking to Oracle about packaging ORA6.DLL with 
SQLGateway/Oracle.
